Apps
-
Informed Minds App
The Informed Minds App aims to support and help young people with their Mental Health Wellbeing by providing a range of Lived and Learned short vlogs and blogs from young people on various Mental Health Wellbeing topics.
These young people have been there.
They have experienced a range of challenges or life experiences, so they voluntarily share their stories and some tips and strategies that helped them, with the aim of helping others.
The App also includes short vlogs and blogs from professionals from a range of fields who also offer some advice on the topic.
Within the App there is also a ‘Mind Gym’ – mini training opportunities with a series of 4/5 short vlogs, blogs or audios to help improve our understanding of key topics and provide techniques to strengthen skills and wellbeing in areas such as reducing stress, confidence, resilience and motivation.
Download the Informed Minds App via the app store or Google Play and use your Ulster University email address to sign in. (A code will be sent to your email to confirm, be sure to check your junk mail for this.)
